The Celtics beat the Hawks 119-106 in another defensive masterclass. The Celtics actually came out of the gate looking terrible in this one finding themselves down big early and allowing 22pts in the first 6 minutes of the game. From there, the Celtics stopped sagging when Trae drove and defended him straight up and the entire team kicked it up a notch. After that 6 minute stretch, the Celtics held the Hawks scoreless for over 5 minutes and gave up just a single 3pt shot to Bogdanovic late in that first. To summarize, we gave up 22pts in the first 6 minutes and just 3pts in the final 6 minutes of the first quarter and the defensive intensity stayed high all night long. The team tallied 12blks and 10stls in this one and took advantage of it with 17 fast break pts. On top of the excellent defensive performance, we also saw some great offensive performances.

Derrick White, once again, stepped up and played a major role with 26pts 7reb 2ast 1stl 3blk and really led the way with 14pts in the 4th quarter! Both of the Jays struggled as far as turnovers are concerned as they both had 4 but offensively, they were both pretty efficient from the field. Tatum had 29pts 10reb 6ast on 12-22 from the field and was 5-9 from 3 and was hitting stepback 3s in everyone's face. JB only had 18pts in this one but also had 3stl and 2blk while shooting 50% from the field and from 3. Brogdon led the way with 8ast alongside his 13pts and 7reb and was a beast on both sides of the ball. He struggled shooting but was doing an unbelievable job setting guys up for easy shots and creating offense from great defense all night. Smart and Timelord both played really well on both sides of the ball as well in this one. This was a really fun team win with great performances throughout as the Celtics take a 2-0 series lead!
